#sandiegosymphony
The Beethoven Society is a dedicated group of visionary philanthropists who believe in music’s ability to lift the human spirit and improve our community.
These leaders support the San Diego Symphony Orchestra, the largest performing arts organization in the area, and help produce great concerts of classical, jazz, Broadway, Latin, and popular music. Through their support, the San Diego Symphony touches lives far beyond the doors of the concert hall with Education and Community Engagement programs that reach every neighborhood in the region.
Through multi-year commitments starting at $50,000 a year, the investment of our Beethoven Society members are the foundation of these programs. Together, our members and the San Diego Symphony serve as an integral part of the cultural fabric of the San Diego community.
For more information, or to join, please contact Vice President of Institutional Advancement Sheri Broedlow at 619.615.3910 or sbroedlow@sandiegosymphony.org.
